n a board game, you must flip a coin and spin a spinner. You can only start the game if you land on tails on the coin and land on green on the spinner. Ralph flips a coin and spins the spinner 25 times. he gets 5 out of 25 that is green and tails. what is the probability of getting green and tails
The probability of getting green on the spinner is 1/4 (since there are 4 equal sections on the spinner and only one is green) and the probability of getting tails on the coin is 1/2.
So the probability of getting green and tails is the product of these two probabilities:
1/4 * 1/2 = 1/8 = 0.125
Therefore, the probability of getting green and tails is 0.125 or 12.5%.
wait there are 5 sections on the spinner
Apologies for the mistake. If there are 5 equal sections on the spinner and only one is green, then the probability of landing on green on the spinner is 1/5.
So the revised calculation for the probability of getting green and tails is:
1/5 * 1/2 = 1/10 = 0.1
Therefore, the correct probability of getting green and tails is 0.1 or 10%.
